The opening of Patrik Kriššák 's solo exhibition “Echoes of the Earth” took place on Friday, November 15. This is the first exhibition of a foreign artist in our gallery.

The exhibition consists of a dozen or so mainly large-format paintings created by using the artist's own technique.

The main theme of the exhibition is the global climate crisis, which the artist depicts by showing the underwater world of coral reefs.

The paintings by Patrikk Kriššák are created as a result of the “climate anxiety” overwhelming the artist. The works presented at the exhibition are not just an expression of an activist manifesto, but primarily an attempt to draw the attention of potential art viewers to the importance of the existing and growing problem. The artist has chosen global environmental changes as the main theme of the exhibition, which he shows by depicting the coral reef ecosystem. Its natural beauty seems to be an unobtrusive pretext for drawing attention to the vulnerability of the environment to the destructive actions of man. By taking real and inherently beautiful objects to the fore, Kriššák highlights a global problem by triggering positive emotions in viewers.

The exhibition runs through December 4, 2024.
